project "bastard case" !

:cheers:
No, the rust and old paint are a bit to perfect.

If you look closely at the little bit of rust below the G on the G33 code, that rust is not consistent with horizontal rusting.

The sealer that you can see, where the paint has chipped off, is a very close approximation to the factory stuff but I believe it is at least a half shade off.

The ridge around the left screw hole shows incorrect paint depth, again very close, but about just a touch overdone.

The rust spot above the Y on the Y05 code is consistent with vertical rust development, this reinforces my earlier theory related to the G33 code.
The tag looks just fine to me, Joe just ignore him and keep the thread up I love seeing your work, especially "Pinky", Can't wait to see this one done!
